For some reason if ever I hear, or even remember, the song 'Brown Girl in the Ring' by BoneyM I can't get it out of my head. It hangs around for days. I don't even like the damned song ! Just writing this means I am probably going to be haunted by it until New Year. I wish I'd never read this post !

Lots of great advice, but this especially. As a reader I can usually get a sense of when the author is really taking joy in their creativity vs trying desperately to get attention and write the 'greatest sex story in all of erotic literature' in order to get infinite RRs and EPs and so on. Personally, I prefer good writing that isn't too desperate for me to think highly of it (In the same way that neediness isn't particularly attractive in a person, but confidence can be).
No I don't intend to take my writing too seriously. I have read so many great stories on this site that I just thought I would post a couple of stories as my way of making a contribution to the site. As this was my first one I was keen to get some feedback from readers before deciding whether to proceed further. I don't expect everyone to like my stories or my style of writing, but if enough people out there enjoy it then I will consider it worth while.

Thanks for your replies. From what seeker4 and Buz say this is a pretty normal level of feedback so I guess I shouldn’t take it as any reflection on my story.
Rumpleforeskins advice is a little surprising to me ( and seems to contradict the other 2 ). Is getting feedback on a story really dependant on making lots of forum posts ? Surely writing stories and taking part in forum discussions are 2 completely different things .
The tip about adding a link to the story when I post on a forum discussion might be useful however. Although I can see that it may get more people reading it, will it get a higher proportion of people giving feedback ? Anyway your replies are appreciated.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this but here goes. I have had my first short story published but was a bit disappointed to find that after 10 days only 8 people had scored it and only 2 had left a comment (one of which I didn't really understand). Yesterday I realised that on your profile page it shows how many people have viewed ( read ? ) your story. I was amazed to find that over 2000 had viewed it . Is this a normal ratio ? Do so few people give any feedback at all ? Or should I take it as a reflection on my story ? I have a couple of other episodes in the pipeline and had hoped to have a bit of constructive feedback before deciding whether to publish them or not. Any info from you authors would be welcome.

Stir it Up by Bob Marley -
I push the wood (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
I blaze your fire (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Then I satisfy your, your heart's desire (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Said I stir it, yeah (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Every minute, yeah (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
All you got to do, honey (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Is keep it in and stir it up (stir it, stir it, stir it, yeah)
Little darlin',…
Rude or What?

Many years ago I was strip searched coming in to Heathrow, London from India. I'd spent 6 months there and Nepal, mostly walking in the Himalayas but also travelling around a bit. I was made to strip completely and made to bend over. Fortunately I didn't get the finger up the arse treatment but it was close. They completely trashed my luggage looking through it all. They found nothing. I asked them why they picked me but they are not obligated to tell you anything. Customs have more powers than the police who at least have to tell you why they have detained you. You may say they are just doing a job but they are despicable people to take such a job. They are the sort of people who would have happily staffed the concentration camps. Nothing remotely sexual in that experience just deeply humiliating and profoundly unjust .

Figa - Italian for pussy ( female genitals not the domestic animal ). Not to be confused with fico, meaning fig. Getting it wrong could be embarrassing when ordering in a restaurant. Unless you have a particularly saucy waitress in which case you might be in for a very pleasant surprise !

The old one will be back.
You may have noticed that quite a few moderators are now sporting avatars which show a lovely pair of boobies (ignore Simply_John's...). We pick a theme every now and then for a bit of fun. This week it is 'titties' in honour of our world motorboating champion mod, Dani.
Oh lovely. Who are the other moderators ? I need to see !

Don't worry I will be up to speed soon !
My question is - I have posted a couple of stories on another site that hosts erotic fiction. I would like to share these with LS Readers. I have noticed in FAQ's that it is forbidden to promote or add links to other such sites ( fair enough ) but is it permitted to put stories on LS that have already appeared on other sites ?
